Super 8 2011

Super 8 is a 2011 American science fiction film written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. The film stars Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning, and Kyle Chandler and was released on June 10, 2011[3][4] in conventional and IMAX theaters. The film tells the story of a group of children who are filming their own Super 8 movie when a train derails, releasing a dangerous presence into their town. The movie was filmed in Weirton, West Virginia and surrounding areas.

In 1979, Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), a 13-year-old boy living in the fictional town of Lillian, Ohio, has lost his mother in a factory accident. Louis Dainard (Ron Eldard) comes to the wake, but Joe's father, Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler), takes Dainard away in handcuffs. It is later revealed that Jackson blames Louis for his wife's death because he was absent during his shift and she had to fill in for him.

Four months later, Joe's friend Charles Kaznyk (Riley Griffiths) convinces Dainard's daughter Alice (Elle Fanning) to be the protagonist's wife in his low budget zombie movie on Super 8 film. Alice steals her father's car and takes Joe, Charles, Preston (Zach Mills), Martin (Gabriel Basso), and Cary (Ryan Lee) to an old train depot where the group plans to film a scene. During the shoot, Joe watches a pick-up truck drive onto the tracks and place itself in the path of an oncoming train, causing a massive derailment. In the aftermath of the accident, the kids find the wreck littered with strange white cubes, and they approach the truck and discover Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman), their biology teacher, behind the wheel of the truck. He instructs them to never talk about what they saw; otherwise, they and their parents will be killed. Moments afterwards, the U.S. Air Force, led by Colonel Nelec (Noah Emmerich), arrives to secure the crash site while the kids flee the scene.

Over the next couple of days, strange phenomena occur: numerous town dogs run away; kitchen appliances, car engines, and power lines vanish, and people begin to disappear. Woodward, still recovering from the accident, is questioned by Nelec but when he refuses to give information, one of Nelec's men poisons him. The Air Force deliberately starts a wildfire (Operation Walking Distance) outside of town, giving them a pretext to evacuate the entire town to a nearby base. Upon arriving at the base, Joe finds Louis Dainard, who tells him that a creature abducted Alice. Joe, Charles, Cary, and Martin sneak back into town and head to their school, where they break into Woodward's stash of confiscated items, thinking he may have hidden documentation about the creature that might help them save Alice. In the papers, film, and audio recordings, they discover that the government imprisoned an extraterrestrial (played by Bruce Greenwood in motion capture sequences) who crashed on Earth in 1958. The alien only wished to rebuild its ship, using the shapeshifting white cubes and return home, but it was instead imprisoned and tortured by the Air Force, who sought to seize its technology. One film shows Woodward, a researcher at the time, being attacked by the alien. This physical contact caused him to form a telepathic bond with the alien, through which he learned that it only wanted to go home. Woodward derailed the train to free it from captivity.

Colonel Nelec and his men storm the school and capture the boys. They place the children on a security bus and head back to the Air Force base, but the alien attacks the bus on the way. Nelec and his men are killed, while Joe and his friends escape. The kids head through the town, which is now under heavy fire from malfunctioning military equipment as the military attempts to battle the alien. They find the alien's subterranean lair near the cemetery where Joe's mother is buried, along with several missing people who have been trapped there by the alien, which has apparently kept them for food. The town's missing electronics are there too, formed together to create a machine underneath the base of the water tower. Joe manages to rescue Alice, but, as they escape, the alien grabs Joe, who tells the creature that it can still live on even after painful events. The alien understands Joe's meaning through their tactile telepathic connection and lets go of him, allowing him and his friends to escape.

Shortly after, all the cubes (which break free from Air Force transport trucks) as well as loose metal from around the town are attracted to the town's water tower. The cubes begin to align and a ship begins to take form around the water tower, which the alien then enters. Joe's metal locket, which contains a picture of him as a baby with his mother, is also drawn towards the tower, and, after a moment, he decides to let it go, finally putting the past behind him. Everyone watches as the ship takes off toward space.

During the end credits, the full movie that Charles and his friends were working on, titled The Case, is shown, with an epilogue in which Charles asks the film festival judges to select his movie, before he is assaulted by a zombie played by Alice.

剧情简介
　　1979年夏天，一群友人在俄亥俄州的小镇游玩，拿着超8毫米摄影机拍电影，目睹了一场悲惨的火车撞车事变，随即便猜忌这并不是一场一般的事变。未多少之后，不寻常的“覆灭”跟 难以阐明的事件开端在镇里产生，当局试图掩饰原形——这比他们假想中要更加可怕。 　　恰是，《超级8》的剧情目前仍然高度保密，根据HeatVision网站透露，故事设定在1979年，讲述一群青少年拿着Super 8摄影机（在当时流行的一种家用摄影机的胶片格式）自制电影，结果拍到了外星人。编辑本段相关资料
　　《钢铁侠2》上映之时贴片放映了一支“神秘预告片”，这就是传说中由J·J·艾布拉姆斯和史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格合作的新片——《超级8》。这支先行版预告片的偷拍版在Youtube上流传了一个星期之后，派拉蒙终于在线发布了

其高清版本。 J·J·艾布拉姆斯再次玩起了他宣传《科洛弗档案》时的花招，首先，由于影片要等到今年秋天才会开拍，所以这款先行预告片实际上是一个月前单独拍的（特效也是艾布拉姆在制作NBC剧集《Undercovers》时顺带做的），预告片的镜头也许根本不会出现在电影中。 　　关于《超级8》的传言很多，但目前我们只确定知道，第一，它的编剧和导演都是由艾布拉姆斯担任，第二、它不是《科洛弗档案》的续集，第三，它会向斯皮尔伯格7、80年代的作品（比如《ET》和《第三类接触》）致敬，第四，电影的预算会在4千500万美元到5千万美元之间，第五，影片将会在2011年上映，具体时间可能定在2011年6月10日。[1] 　　另外，《超级8》还在游戏《传送门2》中放出了交互式预告片，玩家可以自行操作并体验预告片中出现的内容。
